After update, I cannot open iPhoto

I reinstalled iLife from my iLife 11 Disk.

So what version do you actually have right now? v9.0? 9.1?

Hello Terence,

Version 9.0 so i manually downloaded first 9.1 then 9.3update.

Opened iphoto & got the same 'Aperture' message again :-(

Did you try opening your iPhoto library by clicking on the actual library as opposed to the app. Maybe you have an Aperture library that iPhoto is trying to access.

Sure did. Same thing. For some reason my iphoto library seems to have become an Aperture library yet i dont have Aperture...this happened when i updated to iphoto 9.3

I'm having the same trouble with iPhoto and Aperture after upgrading today. Everything was fine until I asked Aperture to go to the iPhoto library. It displayed that okay, but when I quit the programme it would not open up again. I get the nonsensical message that "To open the iPhoto library you must first quit Aperture". If i try to open iPhoto I get the same message, even though Aperture is closed.

My original aperture library was on an external hard disc. My iPhoto library is on my hard disc drive, so I now cannot access any of these photos. Any ideas?

I've now solved the problem on my computer by uninstalling iphoto and aperture and then re-downloading them from the APP store. Everything seems to be working fine again.

Same problem also here, but I have solution.

I copied all the files in the folder from another Mac to my own. Then everything is working normally again.

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreMediaIOServices.framework/

In fact, I noticed the problem in such a way that iMovie does not recognize the camera and the iPhone.

First I tried to uninstall the iMovie, iPhoto and various other files, but they did not help.

Good call jrpm. I did the same and so far so good. iPhoto is working again at least. For the record the framework existed on the misbehaving mac but had only a portion of the Resources and no actual CoreMediaIOServices library nor did it have the usual structure of symbolic links. Not sure of the cause though. I had updated (and reupdated) iPhoto since using it last both via Software Update and by downloading and running the standalone 9.3 updater after first running into this issue, but I also encountered the bug with the Thunderbolt/Ethernet update preventing boot which required manually running the 10.7.4 combo updater in Firewire mode from a host mac, and I had allowed the latest version of XCode to uninstall older versions and SDK's all last week so any of them could have triggered the problem.

Thank you so much. I've done the same steps of dpolzine after the Thunderbolt/Ethernet kernel panic, and had the same problems. I've even bought _again_ iPhoto (this time on app store) in order to reinstall but nothing worked. You saved years of memories. Thank you again!

I had just recently cleaned my computer and backed it up. iphoto would not open it was getting the same message "iPhoto quit unexpectedly. Click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically." so i re-installed it and now i'm getting "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" any advice I would appreciate it

Can you help me too mine is

Run Software Update. You're several bug fixes behind.

After much frustration, I found a way to use iPhoto once again without buying Aperture.

First, I dragged iPhoto to an application called "CleanApp" where it and all of its components were deleted.

Then I went to a backup copy of iPhoto that was on my my cloned backup (SuperDuper) external hard drive.

I dragged that copy of iPhoto to my Mountain Lion applications folder, and iPhoto now works.

I hope that you have the same luck as I had.

Thanks for the point about rebuilding, it helped me get iphoto running again after upgrading from mavericks which included an iphoto upgrade that did not complete.
